    BlackBettys having a sleepover

    Hi Guys
    dropped BlackBetty off at the mechanics thismorning for a service and preventative maintence.
    Went to get her after work and she was still locked inside(hopefully 8O 8O 8O )
    The hoist at work isnt working so it was easier to get somebody else to do the work.
    I supplied all the parts/oil etc.
    She is getting the following done.
    ENGINE;oil and filters with synthetic oil,sump off and re-loctite oil pump drive.
    DIFFS;oil change and new pinion seals
    TRANSFERCASE/GEARBOX;oil change
    PROPSHAFTS new flexi drive and uni joints(if needed)
    AIR/DIESEL FILTERS replaced.

    Hi Guys
    She is home.
    The mechanic couldnt do the rear flexi joint and pinion seal.Apparently the seal that is inside the flexijoint needs a special tool to remove it from the diff housing.He tried making his only tool,but couldnt get it to work.

    He found a problem which he was unsure of but he was 100% correct.When it was up on the hoist he noticed one of the watts linkages on the rear diff had been rubbing in the diff housing,he hasnt worked on a Disco2 before but thinks the linkage is installed upside down,he said there are new bushes fitted and thinks its installed upside down.A quick check on the RAVE CD confirms it :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: I will have to remove the linkage,weld up the linkage as its started to wear thru and refit on the weekend.

    SAND ops: ops: ops: ops: ops:
    Any of you guys who did the Lancelin trip,have a look at your air filter.Mine was chock a block full,Rocky reckons its one of the worst he has seen,AND I CLEANED IT BEFORE THE TRIP.

    I will take pics of the watts link problem when I fix it.

    Hi Tony
    I have a wad of reciepts that they supplied with the vehicle,the previous owner kept it till the warranty ran out.If I find one proving they did the job they will get a phonecall in the morning
    The fact that the salesman said they had looked after the vehicle since new was part of the decision to buy.
